Mr. PALLMER said; that although he hail not Mr. Smoner's experience, he felt no lea pride at seeing the numbers who had voted for him, little as he was known among them.

Mr. Gartx wished to nominate Lind Molyneux, hut was not seconded. Mr. RittatroN came forward to demand explanationa of their late representatives. Ire had something to say to Mr. Huskisson respecting his conduct, and what be would say should he with all the gentleness he was muster of. Ile objected to Mr. Iluskisson, not that he had introduced the principles of free trade—not that he had liberalised the cononart4 of •the emintry, but because those principles were only partially applitsl, l aml, were unjust in their M 1111441111 4, CiperatiOn.-(Applaus,)----Thv first thing which ought to have been done, to admit the principle of free trade in corn----the first • article of life, which could be obtained much cheaper i foreign countries than it could be grown in this. It was right that if the Euglish artisans be called on to compete with foreign countries, the ilevessary article of life, corn, ought to be placed on the same footing.—(Applause.);--Ife (Mr. Rushton) believed that Mr. Huskisson had done as far at it was in his power to do ; for, in the Home of Commons, he had to contend with a great host of the aristoeracy of the 1 aid. Ile hail been prevented from perfecting, sptem of free trade by the corruption of the man of Ciontnons.—(Applause.)—Had this not been the case,' he would nut have confined his admission of foreign corn to the paltry quantity of ;iOO,OOO quarters. Mr. Rushton then alluded to the attack mink upon Mr. Iluskietam •when he 'advo cated the system of tree lahmir, and upon that occasion Mr. Calming threw himself Iscfiirs ii iii, alai paid him the highest compliment that liad been ever paid to it atetesnian of modern times; he compared him to the glorious and virtnotts 'l' ingot.— •He {Mr. Rushton) need not tell who this Turgot 'tiOti; lie was the Freneli Minister of finance previous toile 'French Revolution, and was called upon to regulate the empi re , a n d t o c ontroul the expenditure. great exertions for the benefit of bit country produced him only disease and Misery. Ile (Mr. Rushton) did lot set himedf tip lin. a prophet, nor to dive into futurity, but Ito, thought that at no distant date, such a fitte would await Mr. tinoltisson, unless he and tlw portion of the cabinet in ftifted'into the Mouse of Conmunm such a spirit of intelligence and liberality as WoUld do honour to the comitry.---(('hcers.)—lt wa s i n this lie looked for the 'salvation of the country. There would certainly be a convuloion sinless prevented by Mr. Maio son and the liberal portion of the Cabinet. Mr. Rushton appeal ed to the evidence of facts as proof of his assertions. There were tunny eIIiDEIS on the hustings who were actuated by political feelings against Mr. Huskisoon. lie (Mr. 'Rush ton) was one of those persona. lie did not, therefore, stand in ~an equivocal situation, but he stood forward rather to reason with a philosopher than to actuate any tumult re goading the personal qualifications of the 1111111. He, was aware that Mr. Huskisson had done what he could himself to restore to wealth, honour, and prosperity, the country most dear to him and to them all. and he was convinded .that that Gentleman, and the liberal portion of the Cabinet, could not show themselves among an assembly of intelligent English people Without seeing the frowni of political taticout'aoftening into en couragement. ((treat applause.) Could Men with stich'feelings be regardless of Mr. Hnekisson's motives? Could his clair4 eilently estimated? No, they could not. He however felt it his 'finty to state tit that gentleman, that by his own measures he must slittol or ;he did not•Meart to stand or fall in the tainted ittitortpliere of St, itinteo'is or St. Stephen's, ho could rank as a philosopher, let' hint scatter "plenty o'er a smiling land, and read his history in a nation's eyeo. 4 With the other Representa tive.* he cMr, .Ruebtoti) had also sontathing tit say, regarding ids speeches to - Parliament. • It was true; that a delusion had gone abroad among the working climes of this community, that it was necessary should be for ever disaipated—a delusion, hematite they I ad till idea that the speech Which the General had made proved his anxiety to hatter the 'condition of the working classes and se flite teem a sufficient reward for their industry, and, at the anOe tillw tlt rtsdrain their bad passions, and afilird protection to the , il leekN ein' the Howie of Corrims, relative to the.onhet g een liar plan ?

Now , this , issetiption of benefit eadetlea "eve , qm.uu or ought he attacked, f or their finols were devoted to charitable purposes. Itoskisiant, nor any of h it friend. ' Pe eer intrnami to attack three berwilt locieti m There Was a g reat t delusion 'existing to die minds of htit siiivw kisson's object was not to attack the sacred fund devoted to ~ ;.,, cha rity, but to put down combinatnins, tbr which, in Scotland; Men had had their ears cut off, anti in Ireland persons were proscribed. General Gaseoyne's chief claim to their support rested on his op position to this supposed measure. He (Mr. Rushton) applauded their generosity towards the General, evell supposing it to be under mistaken feelings. He had been already elected their representa tive in six Parliaments—he had been their representative by a chapter of acoidents ; but what votes had he ever given which had had a tendency to elevate the people in the political sca re of the country ? By one act they should know it : when '7OO freemen, ofth C e os tholie shrine f o r th e p ur p ose o f tendering Liverpool approachediCatholictle and Protest an t G o d t h e devotion pre-' det scribed to them, the General preclaimed that the portals e the British constitution should not he opened to the Catholic. Did this look like a theoretic desire to benefit the country ? (APplause.) For full SO years he had voted for ministers, except during ashort interregnum, during which he wrote :doter to say that a ntil some thing about the administration wassettled, be should vote accord ing to his conscience. (Laughter and applause.) On a late occa sion, during the motion of Lord John Russell's, in the Mouse of t..;0 the General had said i t did not cost 'Wm a sixpence for ath m e i l ziis, snlents now he (Mr. Rushton) •would inform the or hit hien& had done: Places in tre n r3i ll ist u o f in w - l a t us t e h g e w"leilite•hralought to be given only to persona whose loug services entitled them to that distinction, were made the subject of barter and sale? He would not say General Gas coyne sold them, because he had, in the moat indignant manner, said lie was ignorant of it; but be should instantly, on bearing of the system, have informed. Ws legal advisers of it,. and have sifted the charge to the bottom. Ile (Mr. Rushton) again pro claimed, that offices in the cnstoins had been disgracefully and., sold. by the agents of General Gascoyne, for the purpos e venally of paying the expences of his election. In looking round him, he (Mr. Rnshton) could see twilling but contempt in every per soO'ti face at this practice. This charge was first made five years ago, and the General should instantly have investigated These plea . had been sold for varions sums. 400/., NU, Stc„ and he (Mr. Bilshton )`. bail a gentleman in . his eye, one of the General's personal friends— Captain c o r.uu rrr requested 'Air. Rushton not to allude to in ,tlividuale; at it had nothing to do with General Gateoyne. Mr. IllniliTON proceeded, and begged not to be interrupted. He gave an instance ore person who, some time ago, war de sirous of having a place of profit. Here cries of " NitOn4,:maine," from a gentleman, interrupted the orator, who informed the ; pet son that he was alluding to a friend of his, but declined Mentioning hie name. Mr. ItustiroN said, the person got appointed, or was to be aimointed, and a sum of money was paid. It so happened, however, that before the individual got into the situation he died, and upon looking among him papers, the receipt for the money he had paid for the situation was found, expressing on it for what purpose it woo received. Captain COLQUIII.L—That has nothing to do with General Gascoyne. _ _ Mr. ItesuroN said, he did not mean to charge the tit:neval with a knowledge of all these facts, because, if it were so, it would be a most gross ease of corruption, and he would be ineligible to sit in Parliament. The individual's brother,- on finding the receipt, applied to get the money back, and he had since received a portion of it. • Two or three individuals, whose names we could not collect, spoke a tew words, but of on moment. , General GASCOTNE thought that the cha rge a selling situ ations in the Custom-house, which WAS' first made in 1818, af terwards in 1820, and 'HOW again in 182(1, • would never have been revived again. Applications for situations had been sent to him, and he had looked only at the respectable names attached to the recommendations, without any knowledge that the situations were made the subject of profit. He expressed his, thanks to the shipwrights, who had, in his opinion, so greatly overrated his services; but he felt grateful for their partiality. In again allu ding to the charge made against him, he declared, " So help me God, I never got a person into any situation with a knowledge of any circumstances, except through the respectability of the names attached to the recommendation." With respect to the combina tion lam,. he was assisted by Mr. Sheridan, about the year 1798, in bringing in u bill for the prevention of combinatioas among workmen ; and on showing it to Mr. Pitt, that Minister said, that if there war! a bill to prevent combinations among work men, therit Anal also be one, to pt-event them among 'neu ters. With respect to tbe Catholics, lie bad no opposition 'to that body, for if his' ain were to marry a Romeo Catholic, he would not attempt to pre% ent it. - 7 ( Applettae.) Mr. II ti ssissow chats n,.4 74 1/3144444 WO impertial hearing. Ile prueeeded let the tiratasitiee,actesply,to some enaereatlons which had been resale 4'a:freeman on his conduct respecting the Ceti.- lie qqestimi. There was only one point in the freeman's speech on which lie %tidied to say a word, and it was on ,II subject of far greater importance and of far greater magnitude, than whether he (Mt. Ifuskisson) or any other Ulan, be he who he might, should be the representative for' Liverpool,- - Ile meant that great ques tion on which. be Mill the misfortune to differ with many of his friends in Liverpool, but On which he had uniformly voted in a mullet' whichhe than& would be., utnet„troducive to the Pro sperity of the eau' ntr . .and to ilkfree enjoyment. or the.eiviLand relil2:iausliterty , stilitc ,It:nglislonen prized so highly.

Is t h at wort h y fre t :map, if he we're pieced in the situation, god he (Mr. liuskiasou), wished he , were in meth a situation, to be a candidate, for a ,seat among the, reprisentatives 'of this great count r y, would he um be precluded from offering himaell on the ground of his boil% It Boman Catholic ? Therefore, it' the worthy freeman felt as a Diasenter from the Established Church ought to tivl, ,he will readily Admit that no MD ought to suffer for the conscientious opinions which he entertains on religions subjects. He would now pass ti) the speed, th e moat able, eloquent, and most ingenious :speech of Mr. Rushton. He should be welding its justice, if he did not pay that just compli ment to such talents and mull eloquence as that gentleman had displayed, however much lie might differ front sonic of hia twai n ... sious, and dissent from some of hie statetnenta. : Mr. Rushton had touched on so Many topics,. in respect to time: of which, person- ally, could lie (Mr. Huskisson) him reason to complain, though perhaps, with respect to some of the compliments which lie had pas* over as many o f th ose top i cs am possible,done him the honour to pay hint, he must b e g' l eave to diaclaim point on whi c h h e k new t h e free Men i ‘ t e ill' e t'o r r e 'r'd; a e t r i l x "t i to t t itt la s ierr‘ t li o l t i • l e a( c ti e t i l t i : t explanation, Foregoing, therefore, for the present at least, in order not to dentin the freemen of the hustings during such sultryweather, reference to other tapirs, he would peso at -once to that which was the subst a n ee an d thef d foundition oie only real charge whickbed been brought against him—namely, the charge which he was astonished to find pre vailed When he arrived in Liverpool, that he was friendly to mouopoly and the coinbination laws, lie knew not in what manner be was to meet such a charge. If there were mitt feature of his public] life for which he elaimed credit more dam for any' other, it was that he had unifiirmly objected to all system!' of Mo.' noisily, and .to all privileges which were injurious to the com merce, to the industry, ilid to the fiiir exertion of labour in thin country. It was easy to' tom WOrds Which implied nn 011ioliS meaning, and all experience had proved, to all who bad attended to popular prejudice, that half of the evils in the world arose from the want of definite or right ideate on. important subject*, and from words being bandied about. Now, what can he trit'ailt by mono poly? ' He took it to be some privilege given to individeele to deal in any particular article, to the exclusion of all others who are nut included in the privilege. Show him the. instance in which be liaitheen fiwourable to such a system as that. ' Show hint the case where he had upheld a law which gave a right to one class of community, to demand front their fellow-subject, th a t w hi c h wt p, not t h e resu lt of' their use industry and of the fairest competition. But what had been the course, in the House' of Commons, h e had felt it his ditty to take in respect to the Nal . bination Laws? In the year 1824 a station was made by Mr. Hollle*ils, they all knew, a ;unlit active, a ,most industrious, a toast indefatigable Member a parliament, and in respect to whom, differing frequently as hue did from that Hon. Gentleman on questions of great public importance, it waajtistice to say, that even though Ida views may be mistaken, hia 14 (44'ex:have never been ing 1 i an d i iearaeo, tout ins has Own* been anxious to promote the ionic* of the working claw , t....-a motion hail been Made by that H ot ,. ,t- ieatkoon to i ngi daeinto the-combination laws, aim to the laws which „ now. t h e free emigrati on o f artisans .from t hi,, oootry. witi 4 l my..

Was this the language —were these the senti ments of afriend to monopoly, of a person anxious to uphold laws which did not affect equally the master, and the men? He was appointed a member of that committee ; and what was the result of its labours? The Right. Hon. Gentleman here proceeded at great length to narrate the proceedings of the select ct.mmittee respecting the alteration in the laws. He also stated the share which Ire sUbsequently took' in remodelling the new law. He then adverted to the subject of benefit societies, as connected with 'the combination laws ; and showed, that he had alw a y s c h er i s h e d those excellent institutions. The 'bor.- Hon. Gentleman next proceeded to advert to the Part he had taken in prevailing on Par liament to giant the King power, by an order in Council, to per mit the repairs of British vessels being executed in foreign ports, provided that the existence of combinations prevented their being repaired in England. lie drew a forcible picture of the state into which the combinations of the shipwrights had thrown the trade of the port of London last year; and drew a humorous parallel between a combination of midwives not to exercise their calling, and one of shipwrights not to exercise theirs. The parallel ex cited great laughter. Having gone over this subject at great length, he proceeded, in consequence of some remarks of Mr. Rushton, to defend his conduct in reference to the subject of the corn laws. He showed, that in first renewing the restrictions on trade and commerce, he was preparing the way for a free trade in the prime article of Inman subsistence—corn. - As soon as Mr. Huskisson had finished speaking, some attempts were made upon the shipwrights to withdraw Major Gascoyne but they were unsuccessful and the polling proceeded. The polling continued until half-past three o'clock. Long be fore that hour, several gentlemen expressed . a wish, that, as it NMI impossible Major. Gascoyne would be- elected, and, if elected, that he could sit in Parliament ; and as it was well known that Mr. Bolton did not Wish CO stand, it ridiculous to keep the public mind agitated by an unavailing contest. Mr. Wright did all he coal to persuade Mr: Benson to shut up his bar for Mr. Bolton. ..Mr. Benson declared his willingness to do so if the Major's friends would shut tip theirs; hut as long as they deter mined to vote for the Major, so long he would keep on polling for Mr. Bolton. The Major's friends were then appealed to, and they refused, for a considerable time, to accede. At length, however, it was • announced by Mr. Bolton's and Major Gascoyne's adherents that they bad no more votes to offer. The poll-books . were then shut, and Mr. Statham declared the Right Honourable William Iluskissou and General Gascoyne duly elected. The following were the numbers et the close of the poll : - 13 Hon. W.:Huskisson 113 Major Gascoyne General Gascoyne 103 John Wright, Es q. John Bolton, Esq. - t).l The Mayor; Recorder, &e. their left the hustings. There was a considerable delay at this stage of the proceedings, every person evidently labouring under some surprise that t.lie Mayor and Recorder went away so soon. - Alr. Huskisson re mained, and he was loudly cheered, He said he wished the Mayor to have been present until he had returned thanks, hut in the Mayor's absence that would be irregular. Several persons wished the voting to go on, but that was ob jected to by others, who affirmed that the election was legally closed. Y Mr. RUSHTON maid he had known a seven days' poll after the Proclamation had been once read. He asked where the Recorder was? (Cries of " He's gone.") " said Mr.' Rushton, " that is always the way with people who are well (Laughter. ) Mr. HosactssoN said be would ask it as a favour if the Recorder . would return and satisfy the people whether the poll was legilly closed or not. He had no doubt it was legally closed, but they ought to have that announcement from their legal adviser. Mr. RADCLIFFE, the attorney, came on the hustings and in formed the meeting that he had seen the Recorder, who had told him that the Court was regularly and legally dissolved. .Mr. RUSHTON—And, like other great men, he does his duty by deputy. Mr. HUSKISSON then stepped forward and returned thsoL the honour done him. NORTHUMBEHLAND,—(Fatn A CORIMPONDENT). There is, after all, to be a Meeting of the Freeholders to-morrow, at Morpeth, to take into consideration who are tit and proper per sons to represent the county in Parliament. The requisition to the Sheriff was signed by some twenty odd names. Had it been a popular measure there would at least have been Ave times the number of signatures.
